Enabling Student Success for the NBCOT Exam: A Pilot Education Program

Abstract

This piloted asynchronous online course enabled students to prepare for the certification examination during the students' second level II clinical experience. Instructional strategies included creation of individualized resource materials and study plans, weekly assignments, and practice tests' data. A comparison of cohorts will be discussed, as well as lessons learned for future course development and instructional design that will enable students to learn skills required to successfully complete the certification examination.
